Forms of “Outside” in Art Writing: A Workshop
This afternoon workshop will offer ten-minute presentations on the theme of 'outside'. Centring on Art Writing's mobility as a form and its intuitive correspondence with visual culture, the workshop will take an aptly creative-critical focus, providing a forum in which scholars and practitioners may present works-in-progress, new writings or ideas that might occur between (or, indeed, 'outside') disciplines, departments, or definitions.

Lucy Goddard and Siwan Rhys | Plain Air
Widely regarded as one of the greatest works of nature writing in English, Nan Shepherd’s The Living Mountain distils decades of walking among the Cairngorm mountains into a profound phenomenological exploration of being, minutely attentive to every aspect of the landscape and its weathers and their effect on her senses. James Weeks’ new work Plain Air, for Goddard and Rhys, sets passages from Shepherd’s text, situating the singer within a vast sonic landscape of piano and electronic sound.

Launch webinar for the new International Centre for Moral Injury
Moral Injury refers to the experience of enduring negative moral emotions - guilt, shame, contempt and anger - that results from the betrayal, violation or suppression of deeply held moral values. Moral Injury involves a profound sense of broken trust in ourselves, our leaders, governments and institutions to act in just and morally "good" ways. First observed in military veterans, Moral Injury is now recognised in healthcare workers, the emergency services, and law enforcement personnel.

Durham Research Talk - Nature, Power and Modernity in early-Soviet Georgian Cinema with Dr Dušan Radunovic
Dr Radunović questions the status of nature in Georgian avant-garde art writing, visual art and film in the period between 1915-1930. Man’s relationship to nature under the conditions of modernity was a major concern of the early Soviet period. It remains a pressing issue in our own time. This talk will appeal to anyone interested in film, ecology and the environment, and how local, ‘vernacular’ forms might contest dominant forms of representation.
